It might take a coin flip to decide which unit performed better for the Lakeside Panthers Friday night.

The offense totaled 334 total yards – 257 coming on the ground – while the defense limited host Greenbrier to just 90 yards and four first downs while picking off a pass and recovering a fumble en route to a 36-3 win Friday night.

After playing football in his freshman year with his older brother, Ben, Augusta Prep’s Hamp Burnside found the sport that was more his speed.

He started running cross country in 2013 and he hasn’t stopped.

I’ve always kind of ran. I didn’t think I was particularly talented, I just enjoyed running,” Burnside said. “I tried running my sophomore year and ended up being pretty decent at it, so I kind of kept it up the next couple of years and it’s been a lot of fun.”

Last week was a rough one with all seven schools suffering losses. I have to give Evans credit. They gave No. 5 Jones County all they could handle. Also, Grovetown gave a valiant effort in a 28-7 loss to the Class AAAAA top ranked team, Northside Warner Robins. Lakeside’s loss dropped them from any post season action.

Halloween is a perfect opportunity to teach your kids and remind yourself how good it feels to eat healthy. Preparation is essential to ensure successful eating habits. Otherwise, it can be easy for you and your family to fall into a Halloween candy coma while mindlessly munching on treats.

Incentives often work, but be careful to never shame your child for their eating habits; this can lead to unhealthy behavior and eating disorders.

The Greenbrier High School Lady Wolfpack and Harlem Lady Bulldogs are hoping to play two games on Thursday.
